Set on 14 acres next to the glorious Whangarei Falls, Falls Estate boasts wide-open spaces and beautifully-presented homes just minutes from Whangarei city centre. This sunny village is close to golf courses, bowling clubs, parks, churches and shopping centres. It offers independent living to those who want to start their retirement journey in a safe and secure Northland setting.

The 153 dwellings at Falls Estate come in four styles, including two-or three-bedroom homes and one, two or three-bedroom apartments. Houses are low-maintenance and modern in style, with kitchen-dining and living areas, shower rooms and spacious master bedrooms. There is generous space for flower and vegetable gardens around most houses, offering a high degree of privacy and 24-hour security. Indeed, Falls Estate feels more like a lovely suburb than a cheek-by-jowl retirement village.

Residents are spoilt for choice regarding facilities and activities at Falls Estate. Some like to work out in the gym, keep fit in the heated swimming pool or relax in the spa. Sports lovers can play Petanque, Indoor Bowls, or while away an evening on a full-size snooker table. Falls Estate has everything from music to meditation, art and craft groups, table tennis, quiz nights, Bridge club, Tai Chi classes, Fellowship group and more. There’s a bar and restaurant, village shop, community vegetable garden, craft room tool shed and a hair salon on-site, and many indoor and outdoor seating areas to meet other residents or entertain your visitors.

Part of BeGroup Lifestyle, Falls Estate is the independent retirement village that forms the blueprint for all future BeGroup developments. There is currently no rest home or hospital care available at Falls Estate. However, BeGroup does own an adjoining site and intends to develop a comprehensive care facility sometime in the future. Every weekday is an Open Day at Falls Estate, so if this is the lifestyle you’re looking for in Northland, phone to book a personal village tour or request an information pack to read at your leisure.
